Day 1

Logon to Lonestar6:

ssh <your_tacc_account>@ls6.tacc.utexas.edu

# For example:
ssh abattenh@ls6.tacc.utexas.edu

When you're at the TACC command prompt, execute the commands below to customize your TACC environment.

# Create some handy symbolic links
cd 
ln -sf $SCRATCH scratch
ln -sf $WORK work
ln -sf /work/projects/BioITeam/projects/courses/Core_NGS_Tools CoreNGS

# Create a directory that will be added to your PATH, where 
# you can put custom programs and scripts
mkdir -p ~/local/bin
cd ~/local/bin
ln -sf /work/projects/BioITeam/common/bin/launcher_creator.py

# Set up a custom login script we'll use for this course.
# First back up any existing .bashrc file
cd
if [[ -f ~/.bashrc && ! -f .bashrc.beforeCoreNGS ]]; then
  mv ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc.beforeCoreNGS
fi 

# Login script for Terminals with dark (black) background
cp /corral-repl/utexas/BioITeam/core_ngs_tools/login/bashrc.corengs.ls6.dark_bg  ~/.bashrc
# Login script for Terminals with light (white) background
cp /corral-repl/utexas/BioITeam/core_ngs_tools/login/bashrc.corengs.ls6.light_bg  ~/.bashrc

chmod 600 ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

After executing the above commands, your Terminal's command prompt should look like this:
